The line comes from Party Rock Anthem, a 2011 single by American electronic duo LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock. It appears near the song's chorus and became closely associated with the shuffle dancing featured in its music video. The track's worldwide popularity helped the lyric spread through dance covers, parodies, television references, and short online edits. It remains useful because audiences can recognize the phrase almost immediately, while its strong beat provides a clean cue for movement-based jokes and transitions.
